How does an Inclined Plane
Less steep Incline Plane
Give you an Advantage?
Inclined Planes offer you a mechanical and
directional advantage. Inclined Planes give
you a gain in effort when you lift a load. The
less steep the Inclined plane is, the more you
gain in effort. The disadvantage is, the less steep
the Inclined plane is, the longer distance you
have to push the load up. Gravity helps slide
a load down the Inclined Plane.
